Spravato® (Esketamine) Treatment
A breakthrough, FDA-approved nasal spray for adults with Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) and Major Depressive Disorder with acute suicidal ideation.
Finding Relief When Other Treatments Haven't Worked
If you've struggled with depression and tried two or more antidepressants without adequate relief, you may have Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD). Spravato® offers a new approach.
Unlike traditional oral antidepressants that can take weeks to build up in your system, Spravato targets the NMDA receptor and works differently to help restore neural connections in the brain, often providing more rapid relief.
- Self-administered nasal spray under medical supervision
- Used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant
- Covered by most major insurance plans
- Administered in our comfortable, calming Anthem clinic
What to Expect During Treatment
Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. Spravato is strictly administered in our certified treatment center.
1. Administration
You will self-administer the Spravato nasal spray device yourself under the direct observation of our healthcare providers in a comfortable treatment room.
2. Observation
You will relax in our office for 2 hours while we monitor your blood pressure and watch for any potential side effects. You can listen to music, read, or simply rest.
3. Heading Home
Because Spravato can cause sedation or dissociation, you cannot drive or operate machinery until the next day. You will need a trusted friend or family member to drive you home.
